I’m for Newt too. I’ve got a hunch here that Newt’s going to make a surge.
I actually watched the debates last night, not that I have a life or anything.
I think I understant the gist of the stupid contraceptive comment.
If y’all didn’t know, Steponallofus asked a question about eliminating contraceptives, a really dumb comment that even robot Romney mocked to a hearty laugh.
I think George was referring to the so-called day-after pill. This form of “contraception” is considered, by some...by few....as a form of very early abortion.
The big wrestle on now is a state by state possible ban on selling these things to females under age 18. I believe, but don’t hold me to it, that this is the case in Delaware.
Whoever coached Steponallofus on this question likely warned him...”whatever you do, DON’T call it the day after pill. Call it something innocuous, like contraception.”
This was probably prompted by a Clinton as George is their buddy but could be an Obama operative. Spurred on by a possible big contribution by the drug manufacturer, who really wants their product considered “contraception”, not a day after. Same manufacturer seriously wants to stop states from passing laws making it legal to sell this product only to females over 18.
After all, so goes the profits, who is most likely to need this medicine but the 16 year old after a passionate prom night? How dare parents not want this type of thing sold to their daughters, without any sort of medical oversight?
Heh. Well it was a real hoot but the above is my speculation.
The drivebys are desperate to pick our guy. mitt filibustering in this debate.
If he *had* dared to suggest calling it a "morning after pill" then the easiest response would be, "Do something different the night before: as the EPA proposes eliminated coal-based power plants to PREVENT global warming."
Or if Stephanopoulos would be so stupid as to mention "unwanted pregnancies" it would be a trivial matter for a candidate to retort, "I believe your ex-boss, BILL CLINTON, showed us how to handle that with Monica Lewinsky."
Cheers!
